Pronouns take the place of nouns. Personal pronouns have what is called case.
Case means that a different form of a pronoun is used for different parts
of the sentence. There are three cases: nominative, objective,
possessive.

Nominative case pronouns are I, she, he, we, they, and who.
They are used as subjects, predicate nominatives, and appositives when
used with a subject or predicate nominative.

Objective case pronouns are me,
her, him, us, them, and whom. They are used as direct objects,
indirect objects, objects of the preposition, and appositives when
used with one of the objects. You and it are both nominative and
objective case. Possessive case pronouns are my, mine, your, yours,
his, her, hers, its, our, ours, your, yours, their and theirs. They
are used to show ownership.

Possessive pronouns never have apostrophes, but possessive nouns do. Do
not confuse the possessive personal pronouns its, your, and their
with the contractions it's (it is, it has), you're (you are), and
they're (they are).

Instructions: Tell how each italicized pronoun is used in these sentences.
